2014 is shaping up to be a very busy year for Yvonne Strahovski! Variety reports that she’s signed on to star in indie film Manhattan Nocturne opposite Oscar-winner Adrien Brody.

According to Variety, Manhattan Nocturne is based on the 1996 novel by Colin Harrison. Brody will portray Porter Wren, a devoted husband and accomplished journalist who is asked by a seductive stranger (played by Strahovski) to dig into the unsolved murder of her husband. As Wren pursues the mystery, he is drawn into a very nasty case of sexual obsession and blackmail–one that threatens his job, his marriage, and his life.

Manhattan Nocturne starts filming in July, after Yvonne wraps up filming 24: Live Another Day.

The plot almost sounds like Fatal Attraction. It sounds like the type of role that the critics would be attracted to. Maybe she’ll get some serious recognition. I mean look what Fatal Attraction did for Sharon Stone.

Are you being facetious? Because 1) Glenn Close starred in Fatal Attraction, not Sharon Stone; and 2) after her breakout role in Basic Instinct, Stone went on to win a Golden Globe and an Emmy, receive an Oscar nomination, star in more than 3 dozen other projects, and become a major activist in the quest to find a cure for AIDS. She’s still considered A-list in Hollywood. Not how I’d define a career that went into the dumpster.

Good for her. The quicker she can distance herself from Oy, Frankenstein the better.
